The procurement falls under the services category of marine conservation strategy planning, with a focus on technical assistance services, environmental improvement works, marine research services, and environmental planning. The tender aims to support Belize in upgrading its port facilities to achieve MARPOL compliance, with the contract period starting on July 17, 2023, and ending on July 16, 2024. The deadline for tender submissions is June 26, 2023. This tender provides an opportunity for businesses involved in marine services, environmental planning, and technical assistance to contribute to sustainable practices in the maritime sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suited to compete for this tender. Businesses with expertise in port infrastructure development, socio-economic and environmental assessments, and waste management services can leverage their capabilities to address the challenges faced by Belize in managing its port facilities and marine pollution issues, ultimately fostering business growth and innovative solutions within the marine conservation sector. ## Notice The Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) was announced this year as a key bilateral aid programme under the PS500m Blue Planet Fund. OCPP objectives are to support countries to tackle marine pollution, support sustainable seafood practices and establish designated, well-managed and enforced Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). Through OCPP, Belize wishes to further understand current capacity, and potential future development of ports and port facilities in-country. Key challenges faced by Belize include the decentralized management of various port facilities by private sector entities, which would require the development of separate partnership arrangements for the investment in, and operation of, expanded and upgraded waste management facilities to ensure MARPOL (The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships) compliance is achieved. The scope of work required will encompass development and presentation of an understanding of the requirements and impacts of port upgrades to deliver MARPOL-compliant waste handling and management services, inclusive of understanding the potential ramifications upon stakeholders undertaking related maritime, coastal, and terrestrial activities. 5. Scope of Requirements a) a port(s) upgrade project feasibility study, inclusive of a needs & gap analysis, including assessment of, and consultation with, the necessary stakeholders involved in port operations and associated waste management/logistics. b) provide socio-economic and environmental assessment of the ramifications of increased activity within the maritime sector to accommodate MARPOL-compliant disposal and remediation of waste materials in accordance with the provisions of the standards and guidelines (International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) (imo.org)). c) examine infrastructural interventions which may merit investment for introduction to port(s) facilities in Belize, inclusive of cost estimates and technology readiness level (TRL) of each potential intervention to achieve varied levels of MARPOL compliance. d) identify potential socio-economic and environmental impacts upon stakeholders including port(s) operators, and those in the vicinity of port(s) locations or peripheral spaces influenced by port(s) operators, in consideration of concurrent marine spatial planning being undertaken at a national level. e) determine capacity and interest in port(s) incorporating MARPOL-compliant waste management services as addendum to current business models. f) recognize potential efficiency improvements which may be realized with existing resources to improve functionality in lieu of increased MARPOL compliance accommodations across the port(s) operations. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8a3f82d5-ce4b-4a48-a712-badc171a91c8 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | 26 Jun 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 16 Jul 2023 - 16 Jul 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £75,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CEFAS | | Locality | LOWESTOFT | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR33 0HT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH6 Suffolk | | ITL 3 | TLH63 East Suffolk | | Local authority | East Suffolk | | Electoral ward | Kirkley & Pakefield | | Westminster constituency | Lowestoft | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 45262640 - Environmental improvement works - 71356200 - Technical assistance services - 73112000 - Marine research services - 90712000 - Environmental planning - 90712300 - Marine conservation strategy planning - 98360000 - Marine services ## Release History - 7 Jun 2023 at 08:23 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8a3f82d5-ce4b-4a48-a712-badc171a91c8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8a3f82d5-ce4b-4a48-a712-badc171a91c8 7th June 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
